Homers by Rick Manning and Andre Thornton in the third inning enabled the Indians to defeat the Brewers, 6-4. The Indians were leading, 2-1, going into the third and clinched the outcome when Manning homered and, after Buddy Bell was safe on an error by Robin Yount, Thornton also hit for the circuit. Gorman Thomas had a homer for the Brewers. [The Sporting News]
